Essence channeler eating creatures on death instead of buffing them
https://mtgarena-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=114093968111
This link doesn't work^ first of all.
Trying to report as bug only sends you to these forums, where nothing of relevance can be learned.
The bug I encountered was in Steam, ranked play where I had a 2/2 creature ready to receive its buff from the death of Essence Channeler.
Instead of getting buffed, my creature was suddenly gone and dead to the game.
I lost as a result, and nothing made any sense. Please fix my rating, thanks.

Brawl bug
Trying to enter any Brawl match inevitably leads to the timer stalling out while allegedly “Waiting for opponent”. But that means I can’t exit the queue without having to restart the whole app. On iPad

Update bugs- what did you do?! Coding bugs
Playing on iOS-iPhone app when it works
The app for the iPhone leaves much to be desired. It has been sketchy since LLORWYN but turtles has had some issues and with the update yesterday 4/1/26 the app is mostly unplayable. The screenshot is from Saturday but today has had more time on YouTube than wasting time on a non-functioning arena client
Today I haven’t been able to play. Waiting on server buffer disc. When it finally gets to the waiting for player screen(against sparky too) no one joins. Why doesn’t sparky join?In game issues:
Once my deck and game stabilizes or I am about to do the thing for lethal, it freezes . Force quit. Reopen screen never changes, force quit again. Reopen. Finally rejoins the game but skipped my turn amd opponent attacks for lethal. Coding errors have the game bugged.Playing on iOS-iPhone app when it works

Culling Ritual, Treasure tokens, and Priority
When your opponent is casting culling ritual and you have treasures, if you don’t have a thing to do at instant speed, the game doesn’t give you priority to sacrifice your treasure tokens.
I was on pc when this happened.1 vote -
FIX DECK BUILDING JEEZZUS
It’s been a while since you broke the card count/deck details button.
After the TMNT update, changing lands starting crashing the app.
Now IN DRAFT, YOU CAN’T EDIT A DECK BY ADDING/REMOVING CARDS INDIVIDUALLY ANYMORE
You have to leave and re-enter the deck builder and remove cards from your entire draft pool one by one.
And if you misclick once, start all over. Then hope you don’t get the LAND options bug and have to start from the beginning again1 vote -
Zombie Infestation
Flaw (my opinion) - Zombie Infestation is a unique card that can produce and perform. However, no where is it stated that this card/zombies get haste, yet upon immediate production they attack. Why?

Crahs during draft deck building
During deck building in powered cube draft (BO1), I´ve encountered a bug / crash.
After building my deck (removing cards down to 40), I press "suggest lands" and then click on the arrow to maximize deck view. This crashes my game (Windows laptop, fine specs). Tested it three times, seems consistent.

Token Math
Tokens should be treated as a grouped object. If I make 512 Scute Swarms, the client+server shouldn’t really see 511 objects with 511 animations.
If I want to attack with 256 tokens, let me quickly input a number or percentage of the group.
If some has summoning sickness, group those separately from the ones who don’t have summoning sickness.
Cause at the end of the day, as you push MTGA to have Legacy like cards and Brawl continues to be supported, you need to handle objects at a maths level. Combining animations and combining tasks to reduce server and client demands.
(Also badly needed is a FOR() and WHILE() function that players can set up and interact with; ideally semi automated.)

110/100 decks and I want more decks!!!
I like lists.
I like organising lists (use of tags and having tabs showing said tags. And yes that means a deck can appear in different tabs more than once.).
Let me have N lists where N is LARGE.
PS I should have supported views like CMC / type / custom.

New Player Experience / Onboarding Existing Magic Players
After watching a new player (who has no Magic knowledge) try to learn Magic via MTGA, it is clear the tutorial isn’t being that helpful.
1) dim most of the screen and show some of the key areas and explain what is the turn structure
2) talk about phases, when you can cast spells. What is the difference between instant/sorcery and permeants
3a) what is summoning sickness (that you cannot tap or attack until your next upkeep - except for force tapping)
3b) that the attacking player choose to attack their opponent’s face or their planeswalker (using your creatures in any combination)
4) show some optional harder teaching problems (like limited examples to let players get engaged with the math). Let the player step back to an earlier board state as well. And give them the average pro player’s response (of how they can be better).Trying to convert existing players to play MTGA:
A) Allow a free account to play any format. They get 6 pass of 48 hour blocks to use ANY cards they please.
B) If you spend 100usd on a welcome constructed pack, you can get a historic mana base (shock lands, pain lands, 3 fast and 3 slow lands and singleton of legendary channel lands). Generous set of wildcards and a choice of ‘precon’ decks (choose 3 from 9 to 12 decks. Pioneer, Historic and Timeless decks that are 80+% there; update these precons as the meta shifts).Generally rework the Mastery Pass so you have a reason to buy it. If you are being too cheap, there should be 3 tracks: Free pass, Drafter’s Bundle, Booster Bundle (wild cards, more boosters and let players pick the sets they want to get boosters from [1]).
[1] I opened 81 boosters from ECL so far and received zero (0) mythic evoking elementals. Seeing larger whales open over 200usd of booster to not complete a set reminds me how **** poor booster packs are. MTGA should be more attractive. Both for pros who want a quick way to test Modern/Pioneer/Standard or supporting casual players.

Timeless Management
Apart from it not existing, could WotC care to manage this better. Ban more regularly (whilst refunding players) to encourage players to test new things. You have the stats but Black decks are probably head and shoulders above other decks. You basically get to play Black or get Blacked.
Could you have restricted Grief and refunded players? YES!!
Could Strip Mine be banned and Wasteland be legal instead? YESSS. (It makes a difference when you can fetch basic island and basic mountain to still play than getting Stripped out of one or more colours; if you have any lands left).
It is like how MTGA devs pushed for Pioneer to be on the client but then there is no official support for Pioneer (basically WotC wasting development time). You have the power to work together (working with executives and tournament organisers than being this wasteful).
